Once this has been completed your MacBook will automatically recognise the adapter from then on. Double-click the macOS InstantView icon and follow the System Preferences instructions. You connect the hub or adapter to your M1 MacBook and find the HyperDisplay app that appears in a Finder folder sidebar. Hyper says that these work “without having to download cumbersome drivers” but there is some software installation involved, and you need to allow InstantView access to your Privacy settings in System Preferences. There are different versions of the DisplayLink driver, and some bring their own compromises to the party. Note that DisplayLink requires a third-party driver to be installed on the Mac. This combination serves as a workaround to the M1/M2 platform supporting only a single external display via USB-C. Plugable’s multi-display docks use a combination of native USB-C Alternate Mode (native “Alt Mode” video output) and DisplayLink technology. This should work with most third-party docks, although many manufacturers don’t recommend it. Workaround #1: install DisplayLink software driversĭocking station manufacturer Plugable suggests using a combination of display technologies to get around the M1/M2 MacBooks’ single-monitor limitation.
